Stuff belongs to
JK Rowling, and I FINALLY figured out Sinistra's first name ( thank
you, Wikipedia ). Hope you enjoy!

Frizzy hair
flying in all directions, large glasses slipping over her nose, mouth
set into a snarl that would of had Harry Potter running for cover,
Aurora Sinistra was looking even more frightening than she normally
did.

Or at least that
was what Severus told himself. He was counting on his witty inner
barb to keep him from feeling worried.

It didn't work.

" Severus
Snape! " She screamed, glaring at him as if he were a student
who had just kicked a kitten, " Where. Is. It? "

Forcing his face
into a mask of calm aloof-ness, he raised a sardonic eyebrow. "
Where is what, Aurora? "

Inside he was
sweating bullets.

" You know
perfectly well what, you maddening bastard! " Snarled back
Aurora, poking him with every word. " My book! My book! The new
one, by Christina Crillington? About the witch, and the vampire, and
the werewolf? You know... how the werewolf and the vampire are
totally in love with the witch, and the witch has to choose between
the two of them? And the one that doesn't gain her affections will
die? The one I've been wanting forever? The one I was telling you
about the other day? THE ONE I WAS ON THE LAST CHAPTER OF? What did
you do with it? "

Snape would
never, ever admit to anyone that at that moment he was slightly (
slightly being the key word there ) terrified of the homicidal look
that passed through her eyes.

" I have no
idea what so ever about what you are blabbering on about. "
Severus replied, and he was proud to say that his voice didn't shake
once. Dealing with Aurora Sinistra in a bad mood was like dealing
with the Dark Lord with menopause.

And with that
she stormed away, robes billowing back in a way that reminded Severus
vaguely of someone he knew...

Shaking his
head, he was about to turn away when he heard--

" Oh, I
wonder were Aurora is going. I had wanted to ask her about something.
I do hope she's not too mad. Severus, do you know were she's heading?
"

Stiffening at
the sound of Lupin's obnoxious voice, Severus turned around only to
give him a glare that he hoped conveyed his wish that the dirty
werewolf in front of him die a most painful and horrendous death.

Deciding that he
did not want to waste his breath with a reply, Severus strode down
the hall, away from the bothersome man.

No one needed to
know that he DID know what had happened to Aurora's book. No one
needed to know that he had picked it up in the staff room, curious
about what Sinistra would be reading ( not that he cared... really.
). After flipping through the book ( growing more and more disgusted
by the moment! ) he had for some strange reason become enraged at the
fact that the WEREWOLF had gained the affections of the beautiful
witch, and the vampire had been left to die.

He had promptly
thrown it into the fire, and only after words were consumed by flame
had he considered what Aurora was likely to do to him if she found
out.

She wouldn't
have liked the ending anyway. Severus tried to convince himself
as he walked. Had he not heard her express firmly that the vampire
and the witch were meant to be?

With that
thought in mind, Severus felt rather better... but he didn't know
why, because obviously he didn't care what Sinistra thought.

Shaking his head
to rid himself from further thoughts of her ( which was for some
reason happening with increasing normality ) Severus made his way to
his chambers. There was just enough time to have a drink. Honestly,
he figured he would need some liquid courage if he was to speak with
Aurora again.

Not noticing
that he was smiling slightly at the thought of the upcoming battle
with the crazy Astrology Professor, Severus Snape continued on his
way.

A/N Okay, I know
very well that this was horrible, and it isn't even close to being my
best work, but I just wanted to write something really quick, and I
just read some Sin/Sev, so figured I'd write about them.

Chicken
Dumplings for everyone who reviews...
